the rest

If you like: Ethel Cain, Lizzy McAlpine, MUNA

Rating: NNNN (out of 5)
Why you should listen: The trio of songwriters, Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus – known together as boygenius – thoughtfully intertwine their voices on this four track EP, a post-script of their critically acclaimed album from earlier this year, the record. Each song builds its own universe; a story that is contained in a tender moment. The EP, the rest, might be interpreted as the remaining songs from this project – however, just like how beats of silence are needed in music to give the beautiful notes the right amount of space to be adored, and how these songs revel in its quietude, you could also say that the rest is about enjoying the respite.
